How can i pre-kill pinkie mice?

I am breeding mice for my snakes and i wanted to know the most humane way to pre-kill them before freezingHow can i pre-kill pinkie mice?
co2 is the proper way(is what i do) but many people just drown them, i know quite a few that do this procedure, but i would reccommend the co2 methodHow can i pre-kill pinkie mice?
Freezing is not humane. According to vets, it's painful when the crystals start building in their veins. Even snakes are cooled in the fridge first, then frozen so they are completely unaware. We use CO2 to gas the mice. Pinkies are very slow to die in CO2 as their nervous systems are so primitive. You can also just thump them in the head with a finger. Their skulls are quite fragile and it kills them very rapidly. It sounds awful but it's actually quite humane.

LOL!!!








I think u should first begin petting them gently with your pinkie finger (the smallest finger), and then flick their heads with the middle finger roughly. If you don't do it hard enough, they'll stay alive and be in a TON of pain! Which isn't very humane, if you ask me. Another way I would do it is to simply just get them in a baggie with no air, and then wack them against the wall. Or just feed them to it live, but that would be sad to watch. So just go with my first idea--Be gentle so u dont scare them, and then BAM... they'll be saying ';Hi god. I got eated by a snakie.'; But, if your feeling un-humane and evil one day, poison them. Whatever makes you happy. I probably would simply look away and flick them, but another why you can do it is have a very evil friend kill them. A painless way to do it, also, is to take a nice big steak knife--and, well, you get it. Cut them really hard and fast down the middle, so that their in half, and then dump them in your food proccessor with some vitamins and minerals, some earlier-proccessed crickets, and some waxworms...





Whatever you like :)
put the in a tub with some dry ice, the CO2 kills them fasst without haveing to expierience any pain, they pass out first and die minutes later.





just make sure that the pinks cant come into contact with the dry ice because the will stick and cannot be removed untill the ice has evaporated.
My friend uses a mouse trap, it might sound horrible but its instant, they don't feel it, I mean I don't like the idea of it either but it's defiantly the fastest
The best way to keep them fresh is by putting them into a bag and freezing them. It kills them faster than the frige, so it's more humane.
I simply put them in a plastic bag and hit it off a blunt surface. It is instant and painless for them.
snap there little necks,or a bearded dragon will eat them live,its fun to watch lol,im sick XD
Just go to Petco, and by them already frozen.
